William Martin and Christine Rowe moved from Lone Elm to Boonville on July
4th, 1909, first living at the 'Lacy Home' on Morgan Street (where
Vera was born a few days later) until 513 Third Street was
ready. 513 Third was one of the first two homes built atop the crest of
Third Street across from the 'Hitch House' on the Kemper Military
School property. The home is shown above ca. 1918, with the photographer
Alverta Rowe.
